Agostini almost to enter the top-10 at Sochi before getting involved in an accident

Sochi, 13 October 2014

It was a weekend of “ups-and-downs” for Riccardo Agostini at Sochi, during the penultimate round of the GP3 Series. On the Russian track the Italian driver in Race 1 managed to grab the 11th place after a difficult qualifying where, despite the non-optimal car set-up, he stopped the clock on the 15th fastest time, confirming himself as the best among Hilmer Motorsport’s drivers.

Agostini had a good start in Race 2, following closely Alex Fontana and glimpsing a chance to earn the ninth position. But it was precisely in that moment that the car of the Swiss got stuck in a collision within Dean Stoneman and Jimmy Eriksson and the Italian remained inevitably involved in the accident.

The weekend at Sochi has been however another chance to gain experience for the Agostini, in a track totally new to him, at the end of a season lacking in luck, but full of coming backs and determination looking towards the 2015 season.
